The MEC may say "war is over," but jihad says otherwise

An Algerian official says that some of the Egyptian jihadists who attacked our consulate in Benghazi also participated in the attack on the Algerian oil field.

This is what you get when you declare the war on jihad over and tell your masses that the world is all unicorns and rainbows:

If confirmed, the link between two of the most brazen assaults in recent memory would reinforce the transborder character of the jihadist groups now striking across the Sahara. American officials have long warned that the region’s volatile mix of porous borders, turbulent states, weapons and ranks of fighters with similar ideologies creates a dangerous landscape in which extremists are trying to collaborate across vast distances.

Perhaps we should have consulted Algeria a bit more closely before choosing the sides we did in the Arab Spring:

“This is the result of the Arab Spring,” said the official said, who spoke on condition of anonymity because investigations into the hostage crisis were still under way. “I hope the Americans are conscious of this.”

Algeria was firmly opposed to the Western intervention to help topple Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya in 2011, and this nation’s conservative leadership viewed the Arab Spring with deep suspicion, making no secret of its desire to avoid any such occurrences.

As we know, the H-word Creature is set to testify about what she knew about how all this went down. Will she squirm and obfuscate or sit tall and give us the straight skinny?
